One in three families in the metro can’t afford diapers to keep their babies clean and dry. And safety net programs like food stamps and Women, Infants and Children don't cover the cost of diapers. 

From March 1–29, 2024, the City of Lenexa’s We Care Committee will collect diapers at select locations and compete in HappyBottoms' diaper drive. HappyBottoms is a local diaper agency that helps low-income families in the area. The organization's goal is to collect 300,000 diapers during this drive. 

You can drop off diapers at the following City locations:

• Lenexa City Hall
• Lenexa Rec Center
• Police Station
• Lenexa Senior Center
• Municipal Services Service Center
• Fire Station No. 1

If you have a child who has outgrown a size or is fully potty-trained, we will gladly accept loose and unpackaged diapers. 

You can also give virtual diapers and monetary donations online. Doing this allows HappyBottoms to buy in bulk and get more diapers for your money. Be sure to use group name “Lenexa Cares” so your donation will go toward the City’s donation count. We could win the Diaper Madness competition trophy (otherwise known as bragging rights)!

The City of Lenexa’s We Care Committee is made up of representatives from each City department. The group organizes events and campaigns throughout the year to support area nonprofit organizations.
